Industrial Hub :2018 specifies requirements for an occupational health and safety (OH&S) management system, and gives guidance for its use, to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.

ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization that wishes to establish, implement and maintain an OH&S management system to improve occupational health and safety, eliminate hazards and minimize OH&S risks (including system deficiencies), take advantage of OH&S opportunities, and address OH&S management system nonconformities associated with its activities.

ISO 45001:2018 assists organizations in achieving the desired outcomes of their OH&S management systems. Consistent with the organization's OH&S policy, the intended outcomes of an OH&S management system include:

a) Continuous improvement in OH&S performance

b) Fulfillment of legal requirements and other obligations;

c) achievement of OH&S objectives.

ISO 45001:2018 is applicable to any organization regardless of its size, type and activities. It covers all OH&S risks that are under an organization's control. This includes factors such as the environment in which it operates, and the expectations and needs of its employees.

ISO 45001:2018 doesn't specify any criteria for OH&S performance nor does it prescribe the design of an OH&S management program.

Through its OH&S management system ISO 45001:2018, an organization can integrate other aspects of safety and health, such as worker well-being/wellbeing.

ISO 45001:2018 doesn't address product safety, property damage, or environmental impacts beyond the risks for workers.

ISO 45001:2018 may be used in its entirety or in part to improve occupational safety and health management. However, claims of conformity to this document are not acceptable unless all its requirements are incorporated into an organization's OH&S management system and fulfilled without exclusion.



ISO 45001 is for organizations who are serious about improving employee safety and reducing workplace risk.

According to cos è un modello organizzativo , more than 7 600 people die from work-related accidents or diseases every single day. That's why an ISO committee of occupational health & safety experts set to work to develop an International Standard with the potential to save almost three million lives each year. Structured in a similar way to other ISO management systems, the approach will be familiar to users of standards such as ISO 14001 or ISO 9001. ISO 45001 builds on the success of earlier international standards in this area such as OHSAS 18001, the International Labour Organization's ILO-OSH Guidelines, various national standards and the ILO's international labour standards and conventions.

ILO-OSH 2001 Guidelines for Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems
These guidelines were created by the ILO to be a practical tool to assist organizations and institutions in order for them to achieve continuous improvement in their occupational safety and/or health (OSH). These guidelines were developed in accordance with internationally accepted principles as defined by the ILO's three-partite constituencies. These guidelines provide practical guidance for all who are responsible for OSH management. cos è un modello organizzativo includes new additions in the bibliography.
